Um, copy it out of the screenshot? There seems to be enough in order to re-create it.

Not even if you stitch it together from different areas of the screenshot that have different areas of the pattern uncovered?

Hi grimlok, try this website -> http://www.designfreebies.org/free-vectors/500-free-funky-retro-backgrounds-and-patterns/

If you like the pattern you posted in particular, I think it can be done with GIMP, it may be more difficult than it seems though.

Thanks for all the positive feedback! If you like retro backgrounds here are a couple other cool links I found:

http://xwinman.org/textures/
http://xwinman.org/tiles/

The zip files for both sets can be found on this page: http://xwinman.org/icons.php

enjoy!

Here is a transparent one so that you can use the desktop gradient, or any solid color for background color of the graphic!

Feels like retro gaming, really nice pixel art stuff.
It looks even to me better when not zoomed in, the lines, the shadows look deeper.
